INTRODUCTION. 

"* * * * The famous little print entitled 't' Fort nieuw Am- 
sterdam op de Manhatans' in Joost Hartgers' 'Beschrijvinghe/ 
published at Amsterdam in 1651, is commonly regarded as the 
earliest picture in existence of the poverty-stricken hamlet 
from which sprang the proud city of New York. Whether this 
picture was engraved from an original drawing, or was made 
up in Hartgers's editorial rooms at the back of his little book- 
shop on the Dam, under the shadow of the Stadt-Huys of our 
foster city of Amsterdam, is a mooted question, the pros and 
cons of which we cannot now stop to consider. 

The priority of appearance of the second view of New Am- 
sterdam is also a matter in dispute. Some cry up Nicolas 
Joannes Visscher, others Adriaen Vander Donck, both of 
whom issued about the same time (1656) maps of the province 
of New Netherland, et al., — with this view of New Amsterdam 
at the foot. * * * * xhe preponderance of evidence thus far 
discovered is, however, in favor of Visscher. * * * * 

According to G. M. Asher, * * * * the third view of New 
Amsterdam first appeared upon Hugo Allard's second Map. 
This picture was copied extensively; in fact, it remained the 
standard picture of New Amsterdam with the Dutch map- 
makers for a quarter of a century. It is popularly known as 
the "Recapture of New Amsterdam Picture," and the date 
ascribed to it is 1673. It is supposed to have been engraved 
by the celebrated Romeyn de Hooghe. 

No other picture of "Neu Jorck, sive Neu Amsterdam" 
made its appearance — so far as we know — until 1717, when a 
native engraver, William Burgis, produced, undoubtedly from 
an original drawing, a panoramic view of New York, two yards 
in length — the most interesting, and we think the most im- 
portant, picture in the pictorial annals of our city that ever has 
been produced. Unfortunately, we are not able to place on 
exhibition a copy of this print, as only one is known to exist, 
and that is in a condition that demands careful treatment, and 
as little handling as possible. The New York Historical So- 
ciety is the sole possessor of a copy of this priceless engraving. 

From the date of issue of the Burgis print until the Popple 
view of New York (which we believe was based upon the 
Burgis engraving) was published in 1733, a complete blank 
exists in the iconography of our city. The Popple engraving 
is succeeded by another gap which extends to Revolutionary 
times. Interest in the matter then suddenly revived, and pic- 
tures of New York began to multiply. In the interval between 
the Revolutionary and the Civil Wars, general views of the

city and of street scenes, engraved in mezzotint and in line, 
and often printed in colors, were supplied in comparative pro- 
fusion by both native and foreign artists. Since the War of 
the Rebellion to the present day few pictures of our city 
(which during that period has been virtually re-built) have 
been made except by photography, an agency in the production 
of pictures which we do not recognize in this connection. 
* * * *" Reprinted from the Grolier Club Catalogue of 1897. 

The present catalogue does not attempt to give a technical 
and by any means a complete list of all prints of views of 
New York. 

It is as comprehensive a list as could be made in a very 
limited time of all the prints that were brought together for 
the purpose of the Exhibition given by the Lawyers Title In- 
surance and Trust Company. Numerous maps and plans — 
variations in state of the early Visscher and Allard Views — all 
of the Corporation Manual prints and a great many interesting 
old photographs, etc., etc., had to be eliminated from the very 
first, the principal object being to get together the rarest pieces 
from each of the best known collections: and by the enthusi- 
astic and generous response on the part of the gentlemen who 
have so liberally loaned their choicest specimens, it has been 
possible to show what is really the best collection of old New 
York views. It is most unlikely that this will ever be done 
again, so that the record of the prints in this Exhibition here 
set forth, it is hoped will be of some value to present and 
future collectors of New Yorkiana, particularly as it is the 
first time since the Grolier Catalogue above mentioned that an 
attempt has been made to print anything of the sort. The Ex- 
hibition has been visited by many thousands of people, who 
undoubtedly derived a great deal of pleasure, and the expres- 
sions of their thanks for the same have been greatly appre- 
ciated by the Lawyers Title Insurance and Trust Company, 
who in turn wish to acknowledge the obligation due the con- 
tributors who have loaned their prints, and assisted in every 
way to insure the success of the Exhibition.

CATALOGUE 



PART I 



1651-1850 



In the following list, the year of dated prints is given; an ap- 
proximate date for the others, given in brackets in some cases, 
is usually indicated by the numerical order of the exhibits, which 
are arranged, as closely as possible in chronological order. 

1 T' FORT NIEUW AMSTERDAM, OP DE MANHAT- 

ANS. 

(In "Beschrijvinghe van Virginia. . . .Amsterdam, by Joost 
Hartgers, 1651.") This is supposed to be the earliest view 
of the Island of Manhattan. The same view appears also 
in the first edition of Adriaen vander Donck's "Beschryvinge 
van Nieuvv-Nederlant" (1655). Photograph from the 
original in the Lenox Libary. N. 

2 NIEUW AMSTERDAM, OP T EYLANT MANHAT- 

TANS. 

Colored. At foot of map "Novi Belgii novseque Angliae 
nee non partis Virginise tabula multis in locis emendata 
per Nicelaum Visscher." The date of issue of this original 
map is supposed to lie between 1651 and 1656. C J. Viss- 
cher, draftsman, engraver and printseller (born 1587, died 
about 1660), was the son of Jan Claeszoon Visscher, and 
we are told that the works of father and son are difficult to 
distinguish. H.
